[3] In 1888, the Cook's Line of the Montrose Electric Company streetcar system reached to 37th Avenue and Grand Boulevard.

[4] In 1913, as part of the Olmsted Brothers' plan for the city, it was decided to extend Manito Boulevard south to the bluff on the edge of the neighborhood.

[5] There, Manito Boulevard would connect with a new parkway, High Drive, which would run west and north along the edge of the bluff through Comstock and beyond.

It was at that time, during the post-war housing boom, that the southern areas of Comstock, beyond the reach of the now-defunct streetcar lines, began to see full development.

A golf course was built at the original southern terminus of Manito Boulevard in 1907 as part of a plan to lure home builders to the area.

The original land used by the golf course was acquired in 1925 by Principal Hart of Lewis and Clark High School, which was located downtown but served the neighborhood.

[8] Construction of the Manito Shopping Center meant the destruction of the former Spokane College building located on the site.

Jefferson Elementary, which had been located at 37th and Grand since the 1908s was moved half a mile west, to 37th and Manito Boulevard on the other side of Hart Field, in 2013.

High Drive, and the adjoining bluff that rises above Latah Creek separate Comstock from the Latah/Hangman neighborhood below, on the west and southwest.

The border diverges from the ridge at High Drive and Manito Boulevard, where it cuts north at a nearly 90 degree angle and then zig-zags to the southeast until it reaches 57th Avenue at Hatch Road.

The newer developments between Comstock Park and the curve of the Bluff are a notable exception, taking on a more suburban style with winding roads and cul-de-sacs The grid is broken in a few places, such as by the Hart Field/Sacajawea Middle/Jefferson Elementary complex and the private Manito Golf Club in the far south.

Comstock Park is located in the northwestern corner of the neighborhood, between 29th and 33rd Avenues and Lincoln Drive and Howard Street.

[6] Manito Boulevard features a tree-lined parkway that runs from the southern bluff at High Drive south into the Manito/Cannon Hill neighborhood to the north.

The gated communities in the south, west of the Manito Country Club, are served by Mullan Road Elementary on 63rd Avenue outside of the city limits.

[23] High Drive is a windy road that runs the length of the neighborhood's western edge and overlooks the Latah Creek valley; there are pull outs for drivers, and park benches for viewing the scenery.
